Six month Blogiversary!!

Hey my lovelies, hope you are all really well!!

Cant believe my little blog is 6 months old, it feels like it
was yesterday, I decided to take the leap into it. A big thank you goes to Dave
Lackie the editor of Beauty the Guide the online magazine, go check it out and
follow him on twitter Daves Twitter tell him I sent you!I was lucky enough to win one of this amazing competitions and we got
chatting about everything, we discussed my passion for beauty etc and I decided
that I should go for it and start my own blog. So huge hugs to Dave for giving
me the push, I will be eternally grateful!

Trying to pick my blog name was so hard I didn’t want
anything to cheesy but I didn’t want anything to out there either. I was
sitting watching Tv and the name Passionsandpreening came to me, I thought it
was cute but had substance, and my wee blog was born.

I knew I would post about beauty, plus size fashion and
lifestyle, but I wantd to also talk about serious issues like grief, anxiety,
body issues etc. I am a very emotional person and I wanted my blog to reflect
this in the posts I was going to produce.

I am not into html, coding, design etc so this is the area
that I have found the most difficult without a doubt, but my hope for the next
6 months is to keep learning so that I can make the blog more enjoyable for you
guys to read.

I don’t want to ramble on this post, as I am sure by now you
guys have realised I can do that quite well. All I want to say is a huge thank
you to every one of you who have supported me on this journey. To the lovely
followers who tweet me, facebook me and leave comments, each and every one mean
the world to me. My amazing husband and dad have been so supportive, they don’t
understand it all but they support me doing it bless them, and my wonderful
friends, you certainly learn who they are!! I have a few who always share my
posts etc and this means the world. On the other hand to the haters that have
slagged my blog I gues all I will say is each hate comment about it being
stupid just drives me to make it better, so thank you for not supporting me!

So the plans for the next 6 months of this blog are:

Self host it within the next couple months

Redesign it to be more streamlined

Possibly up the posts to 2 a week

Improve on my photography

Network more

My blog is tiny in comparison to so many I have 171
followers on bloglovin woohoo!! All of you 171 mean the earth and I hope that
my blog is a good read! Blogging to me isn’t about the numbers etc it is about
having a little space to say what I want to without judgement.

So for now I hope you all will stay with me for the next 6
months and into the future, lots of love to you all.Ali xxxx
